*snerk*

Person posts picture she drew of five original characters in a band to homemade_manga

Commenter points out that the characters all look alike and offers crit as to why that's bad and what to do about it.

Original poster spazzes out, posts an "OMG I'm leaving!" message with the comments disabled.

More commenters start hitting the original post to protest.

*sits and waits for the wank to arrive*

The OP will probably have deleted that post by tomorrow morning, but I hope not. I'm up for some good wank.

If you're taking about deleting the post - I wouldn't. I think it'd bring up even *more* internet drama. If it spills beyond that other post, or if anyone goes and harasses her on her LJ, I think that justifies a beatdown with the modstick, but so far it's not dramatic enough (mind you, I'm saying that without having gone over to the community this morning to read. XD)

But I think a message in the userinfo saying that if you don't want criticism, please make that very clear in the post is a good response - I know there's people out there who are very self-conscious about their art and won't post it for fear of crit and I wouldn't want them to feel unwelcome, and there's people who really aren't interested in improving, but just enjoy the act of creating art, so if they're not going to heed any advice there's no point in having us waste our time giving it.
